Therefore I had to go to a new publisher in order to have paperbacks available. This new publisher insisted on different titles for two of the books. They wanted titles less literary and more Western. It was that, or no deal. "Adobe Moon" became "The Long Road to Legend." "Promised Land" became "A Law Unto Himself." 'Born to the Badge" kept its name. On the plus side, I had an opportunity to add more material to the paperbacks. In book one, I got to add some newly found research about the Keys horse theft. In book two, "Born to the Badge," I got to add a whole new chapter that was dedicated to describing Doc Holliday a little better. Hope that clears it up. Thank you for asking. Others may also be confused about this.(less)

I chose not to cover the later part of Wyatt's life because of the anti-climactic nature of his failures and, more importantly, his disappointments in his marriage. I wanted the book to end on an up-beat note, so I chose 1883. Wyatt's time at Needles may have brought him into contact with Dan Murphy. It would be interesting to know.(less)

“I was rich, for there was nothing else that I needed or wanted.”
Mark Warren, Two Winters in a Tipi: My Search For The Soul Of The Forest

“Don’t trees swallow the fire of the sun? When wood burns, is it not surrendering all those photons of energy that the tree’s leaves once snatched from sunlight and eventually stored within woody fiber?”
Mark Warren, Two Winters in a Tipi: My Search for the Soul of the Forest

“In those days a man could pick up, head out West, and start a new life . . . choose any name he wanted. But the man who made his mark in the history books is probably one who stayed true to who he was . . . no matter what he called himself.”
From "Last of the Pistoleers”

From "Last of the Pistoleers”

“Every plant you see around you has a God-given purpose...some to cure a disease, others to keep off the skeeters, and plenty to nourish you. If people tell you a plant has no value, it just means they have forgot the old ways."
From "Song of the Horseman”
Mark Warren

“To know a plant well, you must sit with it for as long as it takes to draw its picture. The next time you see that plant in another place, you will encounter an old friend." From "A Copperhead Summer”
Mark Warren

“Though scientists may never verify an answer as to what fundamental, defining trait differentiates man from the creatures of the wild, I will set forth this theory: Could it be that we alone can imagine what it is to be someone or something other than ourselves? And if so, then by practicing that God-given skill, are we not only more human...but also more humane?”
Mark Warren, Secrets of the Forest, Volume 2: Calling Up the Flame - The Art of Creating Fire, and Feeding the Spirit - Storytelling and Ceremony

“If the plants of the forest are a work of the Great Spirit, are they not holy?" From "Requiem to the Silent Stars”
